Reef Fanatic

Im thinking about ordering a 250w Reef Fanatic HQI Electronic Ballast for a diy setup. Are these decent quality? Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks

Cmon I know someone out there has had experience with these. Also are the electronic ice cap balasts any good?

How much does an EVC run for.. im looking for something in the $130 to $160 range. Is it an electronic balast?

Heard of Google?

Try $99 and the highest output of any e-ballast to date. Compare it on Sanjay's Reef Lighting Info Archive Page and you will see... on a couple bulbs it actually outperforms HQI.
